Connect your Trakt account

Each person signs in with their own Trakt account:

  1. On the authorization page, choose Connect Trakt to display a device code.

  2. Open trakt.tv/activate, sign in, enter the code, and approve access.

  3. Return to the authorization page; it finishes connecting automatically. Then return to your chat.

Try asking

  • “Recommend five movies for me using Trakt.”

  • “What TV shows does Trakt recommend for me?”

  • “Recommend science-fiction movies from 2020 onward.”

  • “Show me the movies and TV shows I’ve watched.”

  • “Search Trakt for Arrival.”

Recommendations come from Trakt’s personalized results. History shows watched titles and play counts.
